Love this store! We have been going here for four years now. Only once did they not have something I was looking for but were helpful in telling me where I could find it, as well as showing me substitutions they carried. The first time I went in without my kids they asked where they were, which I loved because it gave a small town feel to the area. They are tucked away behind a fast food place, which sucks because I feel like theyd probably get way more business, like they deserve, if they were more visible from the main road. I recommend this store to anyone that asks me where I buy Asian foods.

They have a homemade Korean Kimchi not from factory. It is really better than factory one. I have no idea about other things except homemade Kimchi, when I looked and checked them and I didnt want to buy. They have pretty much Korean and Asian stuffs, but I didnt want to buy.

This place was a treasure. I wasnt expecting so much stuff, usually its a mix of mostly American and little bit of imports at markets like this. Not this place, decked from wall to wall with stuff you wont find anywhere else, its a good place to explore and find cool stuff. I loved it!

Review №19

Great kimchi, meat selection and frozen area. Its a market though not a super market so youll find a wider selection and variety at some of the bigger places like Pal-do or H-mart. Personally, Id rather support a local business and will continue to shop here. Check them out!

Review №29

They cook all my favorite korean dishes and side dishes. There are some parts of the store that are a bit sketchy but the food they make themselves are always great. The only reason I give 4 stars is because its questionable how long they keep that food out at room temperature. But its the best place Ive found that makes the best staples of asian cuisine.

Very nice smaller market with Korean emphasis. Specialty is the kimchee deli- great selection of house made treats available by weight and prepackaged. The little cafe inside is excellent- small menu of Korean dishes, very busy at lunchtime with JBLM folks but open for dinner as well.

Fresh mandu buns, strawberry mochi, and other convenient Korean/pan-asian goods available. Will definitely try the restaurant next time!Update: The restaurant was delicious! Especially the chicken & cheese omelette, ramen, and teriyaki chicken. My favorite is their salad (and I typically hate salads) its fresh cabbage with her own sauce.

This Korean market has been under the same owner for at least 30 years. Back then these small mom and pop Korean markets were the only resources Korean moms had to purchase the fresh ingredients and spices they needed to make those wonderful condiments that accompany the Korean table. If you have ever eaten in a Korean restaurant or had the privilege of being invited into a Korean home, you know what I am talking about. Homemade Korean food is best eaten amongst friends and family. There was a time when every Tacoma family made their own kimchi and other side dishes. I can remember my own family right here in Tacoma making tons of radish, cucumber and cabbage kimchee just for the immediate family. Sadly, we modern people have gotten away from performing the annual ritual of kimchi making and playing Korean cards all night!This market has not forgotten the old ways. Everything they make is made in the store by a small dedicated group following old handed down recipes. The owner, a bit older now, enforces strict quality and traditional ways.What is modern is that he sells small amounts for weekly use. He will certainly sell you more if you want in bigger bottles but it is not necessary.Now I will tell you, the prices in this store for his homemade kimchi and condiments are not cheap. But they good. They are very good. Far better than anything you can buy in Tacoma.
